I'm pleased to introduce a new practical wedding sponsor - MagnetStreet Weddings. The other week we were discussing Save The Date options, and many of you suggested magnets as Save The Dates. Guests love seeing a cute picture of the couple, stick them up on the fridge, and end up getting far more use out of them then any other wedding related item. MagnetStreet Weddings offers chic and easy affordable Save The Date magnets. Two of my favorites are this This chic photo magnet:

Our next sponsor couldn't be a better fit for this site: PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com. I've been intrigued by this site since I saw this stunning budget wedding, where the bride wore a knockout used wedding dress. This website offers brides a place to buy new, sample, and used wedding dresses - or sell them after the wedding. Not only is this idea budget friendly, but it's green - you can buy a dress used and sell it back later. No waste, plus you have a magical traveling dress! I could spend hours on this site looking around, the dresses are pretty, and I love a good deal. PreOwnedWeddingDresses has dresses at every price point - you can get a great deal on a designer dress, but you can also get a fantastic deal on a non-designer dress. Here are a few of my favorites:

I'm pleased to introduce the very practical wedding elf, Jessamyn Harris. Jessamyn is a stunning wedding photographer, she takes fantastic pictures of amazing weddings, and you should go browse about on her blog and her website immediately for inspiration. But in Jessamyn's case, I have, if it's possible, something even more important to say about her: she's awesome. To meet her is to want to have a beer with her. There are so many vendors that say things to you like "your wedding is your special day, and I want to help make it sparkle like the rhinestones in your bridal tiara," which of course makes you feel a little queasy, and also scared. Not Jessamyn. She was the very first reader of this blog who I didn't know personally, and she would send me these emails that said things like "Oh my god YES! What is it with elopement packages?" You can see a picture of her amazing city hall wedding here.

I’m pleased to introduce our newest sponsor Keira Lemonis Photography. Keira reached out to me to be a sponsor because she particularly loves working with practical brides, which is always so good to hear. Her pictures are fantastic, and she is all about showcasing your wedding glee (do we dare say relaxed wedding glee? Yeah, we do.) And the best part? She has fantastic rates. Keira is located in New York State, but she travels (affordably) which is often the best way to get a photographer that gels with your style. Next up, a fabulous real wedding shot by our own Keira Lemonis.
